Devon Heritage Centre - temporary closure

From Maureen Selley at Devon FHS:

A message from Devon Heritage Services:

Please note that we are going to need to close the DEVON HERITAGE CENTRE in Exeter for the fortnight beginning 12 May 2014 so that we can transfer the remaining county local studies collections over from the former Westcountry Studies Library in central Exeter. This is a major task and we will need to use our public search room as a sorting and processing area for the huge quantity of material that needs re-shelving at Great Moor House.

We apologise to our users for any inconvenience this may cause but the end result will be that all the county collections of archives and local studies material outside north Devon will be held under the same roof for the first time ever, providing you with more comprehensive access at the Heritage Centre than ever before!
